September is is traditionally a month in which lots of books are published, and this year is no different. Check out these excellent titles, big and small, that have already been released or are yet to come out this month!

Scion by James Islington

We started off the month with Islington’s foray into sci-fi, after his wildly popular Hierarchy series. This is a fast-paced, action packed cyberpunk thriller about a genetically enhanced assassion who hunts the wealthy people trying to live forever.

SIMPLE TOO by Yotam Ottolenghi

This is the follow-up to SIMPLE, featuring 135 new recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s a cookbook for busy people, with delicious meals coming together in (supposedly) less than 30 minutes but with lots of flavor.

Taipei Story by Rebecca F. Kuang 

A coming-of-age story, this author’s second literary fiction novel is classic Kuang, simultaneously reflective and wryly humorous with lots of academic emphasis. Read Damla’s full review here.

We Chase Shadows by Richard Osman

This is the sequel to We Solve Murders, about a private investigator who teams up with her retired PI father to, you guessed it, solve murders. It has already been picked up by Netflix and will be adapted into a TV-series, but there is no expected release date for that yet.

More by Gillian Anderson 

In this follow-up to Want, more women have submitted anonymous, intimate letters detailing their fantasies, ranging from mundane to deeply erotic. It’s a feminist collection daring women to embrace their desires.

Dead Beat by Leigh Bardugo 

Dead Beat is the third and final book in Bardugo’s Ninth House trilogy. It seems like all the readers are wanting one thing and one thing only: more Alex and Darlington.

Hollywood, Ending by John Green

John Green is back, with his adult fiction debut no less. Hollywood, Ending is a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story that brilliantly confronts the private cost of a public life.

The Wild Zone by Rick Riordan and Annabelle Oh

Have you ever wanted to know what happens in Camp Half-Blood when Percy Jackson is out on a quest? This is the first book in a new series by Rick Riordan that explores exactly that.

Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros
